Basic Windows Techniques
This document may require you to use some basic Windows techniques to perform certain actions. For example, you may need to use Windows Explorer to browse disks and folders, or you may need to use the tools in the Control Panel to check or change some system settings. You can reach the Control Panel folder either via your My Computer icon, or through Start Settings Control Panel. Finally, you may need to use the Windows Task Manager to check that certain programs are running properly. You can display the Task Manager by right clicking in an unoccupied area of the Taskbar and then choosing Task Manager. If you are not familiar with these techniques, please consult your Windows documentation or Help.

Pre-installation Considerations Installation Instructions Unattended Installations Uninstalling Common Licensing LMTOOLS utility Troubleshooting

Background
This document describes the installation and running of Common Licensing on Windows operating systems. The installation of Common Licensing is accomplished using the supplied setup.exe program. This program (if you accept the defaults) installs the files into your system‟s Program Files folder e.g: C:\Program Files\UGS\UGSLicensing C:\Program Files (x86)\UGS\UGSLicensing Note: {Windows 32-bit default location} {Windows 64-bit default location}

Only a 32-bit version of Common Licensing is available. It may be installed on 64-bit machines. However, on 64-bit machines the Microsoft OS will enforce their convention of putting 32-bit products in the “Program Files (x86)” folder.

Common Licensing is a common license server. It is intended to be shared by Siemens PLM Software products. It is not backward compatible with the old license servers previously used by Siemens PLM Software products. However, both the old and new license servers may be installed on the same system.

Version 4.0

Common Licensing is implemented as a Windows service called “UGS License Server (ugslmd)”. Common Licensing uses a client-server architecture in which the license manager daemon (lmgrd) and the vendor daemon (ugslmd) provide (i.e. serve) license information to Siemens PLM Software application programs (called clients). The lmgrd daemon handles the initial contact with the application program (via TCP/IP) then passes the connection to the ugslmd daemon. Lmgrd also starts and restarts ugslmd. The UGS License Server (ugslmd) service may be run on your local computer or another computer on your network.

Note:

The Common Licensing installation is only required on license server nodes. It is not necessary to install this service on clients unless the client is also serving licenses, e.g. a standalone laptop.

Note:

Some Siemens PLM Software products may support a ”Standalone Licensing” scenario, whereby there is no Windows license server service required and licensing information is acquired directly from a file. This requires access to a specially locked license file called a “Standalone License” file. In this scenario it is not necessary to install the Common Licensing product.

Pre-installation Considerations
Windows system
The Common Licensing product installation is supported on (32 or 64-bit) versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

License file
Prior to beginning the Common Licensing installation, you must have the license file. The file should have already been provided via e-mail from Siemens PLM Software. It does not exist on the software media and is not generated by the install. We recommend that you save the e-mailed license file as a text file in your temporary directory %TEMP% and that you name this file ugs4.lic. The file may have any name and may exist anywhere on your system but the install uses the default location for the license file prompt: %TEMP%\ugs4.lic.

Note:

Please make sure you have the license file available on your system before beginning the installation. The installation will not be possible without a license file.

Note:

Merging Siemens PLM Software license files with any other license file is not supported.

Administrator privilege
To install Common Licensing, you must use the Administrator account or an account with full Administrator privileges.

Version 4.0

Version 4.0

File System requirements
The Common Licensing product must be located on an NTFS file system partition; it will not work correctly on the older FAT file system. Common Licensing must be installed on a locally mounted disk drive; the Windows OS will not allow the installation of a “service” on a remotely mapped drive.

TCP/IP Network Services
TCP/IP services are required to run Common Licensing. Please make sure that TCP/IP services are set up and configured for your system. To do this, click on Start Settings Control Panel Network Connections Local Area Connection Properties button. TCP/IP should be displayed as one of the installed protocols. Siemens PLM Software applications use the TCP/IP network protocol to communicate with the license server. Even if the UGS License Server (ugslmd) is running on the same computer, TCP/IP is still used. If your computer does not have an Ethernet Card configured, you must install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter, which is a "virtual" network adapter that will allow your computer to "talk to itself" via TCP/IP. You may use the ping utility to check that your TCP/IP connection is operational. On the computer where you will be running the Siemens PLM Software application, open a Command Prompt window, and type ping <hostname> where <hostname> is the name of the computer you will be using as your License Server. If the network connection is working correctly, several lines of diagnostic output will be displayed, indicating the time required to transmit packets of data. If the network connection is not working, you will receive an error message. You must be able to ping your License Server (and vice versa) in order to run Siemens PLM Software applications. For help with the ping utility, please consult your Windows documentation or Help.

Hardware Security Device
{Windows 32-bit only. Hardware keys are not supported on Windows 64-bit} Individual features of a license file may be node locked to an Ethernet card‟s physical address or to a hardware security device, also known as a hardware key or dongle. If individual licenses are node locked to a hardware key, you must attach the hardware key to the parallel port or USB port of the workstation using those license features. The Sentinel device driver that communicates with the hardware key must also be installed on the workstation. On node-locked Common Licensing clients or Standalone Licensing workstations, the Sentinel driver must be manually installed. To check the status of the Sentinel driver, see the section titled Security Device Not Installed. Note:

The Sentinel driver installation file can be found on the license server in the following (default) installation path: C:\Program Files\UGS\UGSLicensing\Hardware_Key\sentinelsystemdriver.msi

Note:

The Common Licensing installation will automatically install the “Sentinel” driver by default on 32-bit machines. If you are not using a hardware key, the “Sentinel” driver may be safely removed with Add/Remove programs.

Note:

Hardware keys are not a valid hostid for a license server. The Composite Hostid (CID) is the only valid hostid for a Common License server.

Using the Maintenance Options
After completing an installation, any subsequent executions of setup.exe will present the „Maintenance‟ screen. This prompt will offer the option to „Repair‟, „Modify‟ or „Remove‟ the installation of the product. The Repair option will attempt to reinstall or correct any files that do not match the original installation. Be advised that this option can be very slow because it relies on individual file comparisons. The Remove option will uninstall the product completely.

Version 4.0

Version 4.0

Unattended Installations
The installation of Common Licensing can also be accomplished by an unattended (a.k.a. silent) install. This feature may aid those System Administrators with a large number of site installations. Caution: Use of this type of installation is intended for experienced installers only.

The unattended installation is controlled by the Windows system component, msiexec.exe. In order to install silently you must pass switches and Common Licensing specific properties to msiexec.exe on the command line. The msiexec.exe program has several command line switches. For full documentation on these switches, see the Microsoft help documentation (Help and Support) for msiexec. A few of the commonly used command line switches for msiexec are: /h – msiexec help, will list available switches. /i – specifies the input .msi file to be used for installation. {e.g. msiexec /i “UGSLicensing.msi” will install Common Licensing} /q – specifies the User Interface level. /qn+ specifies no dialogs except for the ending “install done” dialog {recommended}. /qn specifies a silent installation with no dialogs. If this option is used there is no indication when the install completes, you must use the Task manager to monitor the “msiexec.exe” process. /L – specifies a logfile to be created, and the level of the messages to be written to the logfile. {e.g. msiexec /L*v “logfile”} This example give the most verbose log file, see msiexec switches for various log switch options. The log file option can be very useful in troubleshooting installation problems. /x – specifies the input .msi file to be used for de-installation. {e.g. msiexec /x “UGSLicensing.msi” will uninstall Common Licensing}

The configurable properties for the Common Licensing install are: INSTALLDIR – this property sets the directory where the Common Licensing files will be installed. If not specified the default is: “C:\Program Files\UGS\UGSLicensing” or “C:\Program Files (x86)\UGS\UGSLicensing”. LICENSEDIR – this property sets the value of the folder containing the license file to use. If not specified the default is the %TEMP% folder for your login account. e.g. for Administrator: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp LICENSEFILENAME – this property sets the value of the name of the license file to use. If not specified it will default to ugs4.lic.

Note:

To specify a complete path to your license file, you must specify BOTH the LICENSEDIR and LICENSEFILENAME. These two properties are concatenated to produce the full path. If you place your license file in %TEMP%\ugs4.lic, you will not need to specify either parameter.

Caution:

If the install cannot find the license file, it will not complete.

The following are examples of silent installations. Caution: These examples may appear on multiple lines because of document formatting but they must be entered on your computer as one line. Any arguments with imbedded spaces must be quoted.

Default install - The following example installs silently using a default installation. It will install in the default location and attempt to locate the license file at %TEMP%\ugs4.lic. The “/qn+” switch will cause one ending message dialog to appear. msiexec.exe /qn+ /i "UGSLicensing.msi"

Version 4.0

Version 4.0

Custom Destination - The following example installs silently, to a customized destination folder. It will attempt to locate the license file at the default location. The “/qn” switch will cause no dialogs to appear msiexec.exe /qn /i "UGSLicensing.msi" INSTALLDIR="E:\Test Folder\License Test” Custom License file - The following example installs silently, to the default destination folder but specifies a full path to the license file. The “/qn+” switch will cause one ending message dialog to appear. msiexec.exe /i "UGSLicensing.msi" LICENSEDIR=c:\temp LICENSEFILENAME=YourLicense.txt /qn+ Fully customized install - The following example installs silently, to a custom destination folder with a custom path to the license file. The “/qn+” switch will cause one ending message dialog to appear. msiexec.exe /i "UGSLicensing.msi" INSTALLDIR="E:\Test Folder\License Test” LICENSEDIR=c:\temp LICENSEFILENAME=YourLicense.txt /qn+ Log switch - The “/L*v” switch can be added to any example above and will cause a verbose log file to be generated in the location specified in the next argument. Note that there is no space in the “/L*v” switch. The following example shows a customized installation with one ending dialog and with a verbose log file in c:\temp\install.log. See also msiexec help for various log switch options msiexec.exe /i "UGSLicensing.msi" INSTALLDIR="E:\TestFolder\LicenseTest” LICENSEDIR=c:\temp LICENSEFILENAME=YourLicense.txt /qn+ /L*v c:\temp\install.log {There is no space in /L*v but there is a space after the „v‟} Uninstall - The following example shows an uninstall. Only an ending dialogue will appear. It is not necessary to specify a previous custom INSTALLDIR. msiexec.exe /qn+ /x "UGSLicensing.msi" Note:

The uninstall does not remove the license file or log file.

Uninstalling Common Licensing
To remove the Common Licensing product, run the Common Licensing setup and select “Remove” or use the Windows Add/Remove utility and select: Start Settings Control Panel Add/Remove UGSLicensing You may also use the msiexec silent install option “/x” to uninstall Common Licensing {e.g msiexec.exe /x “UGSLicensing.msi” /qn+} It is not necessary to reboot after uninstalling Common Licensing. The uninstall does not remove the license file or log file. There is no separate uninstall program or shortcut.

Lmtools utility
The Common Licensing install will install the lmtools utility and provide a Start Menu shortcut. The LMTOOLS interface combines license administration tools and the utilities in the lmutil executable. To run from Start menu, double click on the program icon under: Start Programs UGS Licensing lmtools Refer to the Macrovision FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide for additional information on LMTOOLS. Note: The Macrovision company name was changed to Acresso and then again to Flexera.

Troubleshooting
Windows Diagnostic Tools
Windows provides a variety of tools that you can use to understand how your computer is working and diagnose problems. Some examples are: Windows System Info Can be found via Start Programs Accessories System Tools System Information. It provides information about your system, and allows you to print this information, or save it in a file. You can also run Windows Diagnostics by typing winmsd in a Command Prompt window. Provides you with a log showing various low-level events that have occurred while your system has been running. Again, you can typically access this utility via Start Settings Control Panel Administrative Tools. The System Properties item in Control Panel lets you check and modify the values of environment variables that affect the behavior of your system. Variables are located under Start Settings  Control Panel Advanced Environment Variables. Windows provides a wide variety of commands for diagnosing networking problems, which can affect the system‟s ability to communicate with the license service. For more information, you might start by looking up the ping and netstat utilities in Windows Help, or type net help in a Command Prompt window.

Creating Installation Log Files
If the installation does not complete successfully, error logs of the installation may provide helpful information. In a command prompt window enter: setup.exe /v”/L*v c:\LogFile2.txt” {where LogFile2 is the full path to your log file. Note: there is no space after the “/v” switch. This example shows using “setup.exe” to start the log. Setup actually passes these switches to msiexec.exe} See also log file examples in the section Unattended Installation of Common Licensing. Note: The msiexec.exe program supports many levels of log file information from terse start/stop messages to the very verbose log example shown above. See “Help and Support” on msiexec for information on the levels of logging available.

Checking the License Service
Check that the UGS License Server (ugslmd) service is running, either using Task Manager or Services. In Task Manager, you should see running process entries for two lmgrd.exe processes and one ugslmd.exe process. Using Control Panel Administrative Tools Services, you should see UGS License Server (ugslmd) with a status of "Started". If the service is present, but not running, you may attempt to start it manually. Control Panel Administrative Tools Services. Right-click the service name "UGS License Server (ugslmd)", and click Start. If the UGS License Server (ugslmd) service is unable to start, there may be other problems. Choose Start Programs UGS Licensing LMTOOLS. In the Service/License File section, select "Configuration using Services". Click on the "Config Services" tab. The "UGS License Server (ugslmd)" service should appear in the Service Name field. Verify that all "path to" entries are valid. These entries displayed on the LMTOOLS screen should not be blank. If these entries are blank, enter the correct service name as shown above. Use the browse button to search the drive for the location of the installed license program (lmgrd.exe). Browse for the correct license file. The default location for the log file should be set to C:\Program Files\UGS\UGSLicensing\ugslicensing.log, provided that the directory path is where you installed Common Licensing. Use the browse button to update this field. Make sure the two checkboxes, “Start Server at Power Up” and “Use Services”, are both checked (after checking “Use Services”, “Start Server at Power Up” will become available). Click the “Save Service” button. To start the license service from LMTOOLS, open the Start/Stop/Reread tab. Click the Start button. Note: The graphically-oriented license administration utility LMTOOLS is also available on the Siemens PLM Software Licensing client if installed.

Using the lmutil utility
The lmutil utility is a command line license administration tool similar to the graphicallyoriented LMTOOLS utility. To use lmutil, open a Command Prompt window to use this utility and change directory to the appropriate folder. Run the command lmutil lmstat -c 28000@<hostname> –a {where 28000 is the default port number and <hostname> is the hostname of the Common license server} from the server machine to verify that the vendor daemon is alive. Run the same command from a client machine to verify the connection across the network from client to vendor daemon. Other information may be extracted using different switches or options; these are documented in the Macrovision FLEXlm End User Manual. For example: cd /d c:\Program Files\UGS\UGSLicensing {default Windows 32 server location} cd /d c:\Program Files (x86)\UGS\UGSLicensing {default Windows 64 server location} lmutil lmstat -c 28000@<hostname> –a {where 28000 is the default port number and <hostname> is the hostname of the Common license server}

Version 4.0

Diagnostic messages will appear telling you some possible sources of your problem. Some possible outputs: License File Could Not Be Read If you are receiving your license data file via e-mail, you need to save it in text format. Some users using MSWord as their reader may receive garbage in the license file (ugs4.lic) when it is received in mail. To verify if a license file is corrupted:
cd /d c:\Program Files\UGS\UGSLicensing lmutil lmcksum –c ugs4.lic | findstr BAD

See ugslicensing.log

When the lmgrd service is started, the log file ugslicensing.log is created. The ugslicensing log can give you the best information on the state of the license server. This file is a text file that can be opened with standard text editors. Errors may be a result from a corrupted license file, the lmhostid not matching the license file, or networking problems involving TCP/IP or DNS configuration. Use the instructions given earlier to check that there is a working TCP/IP network connection to your Common License Server. The log file is located by default at:
c:\Program Files\UGS\UGSLicensing\ugslicensing.log {Win 32} c:\Program Files (x86)\UGS\UGSLicensing\ugslicensing.log {Win 64}

Checking Server lines
Check that the real hostname of the license server is on the SERVER line of the license file. The license file is electronically provided by Siemens PLM Software with 'YourHostname' or 'this_host' on the SERVER line as a placeholder for the real hostname of the license server. The installation will edit the license file to automatically change "YourHostname" or "this_host" keyword to the actual hostname of the license server. However, this field must be edited manually for any subsequent updates of the license file and for redundant server configurations (i.e. license files containing 3 SERVER lines).

Security Device Not Installed
{Windows 32-bit only. Hardware keys are not supported on Windows 64-bit.} If the Hardware Key is not installed properly or if the Sentinel System Driver is not installed and started, when a node-locked feature is attempted to be checked out, an error message similar to the following will be displayed: FLEXnet Licensing error: -9 Invalid host The hostid of this system does not match the hosted specified in the license file. Feature: gateway Hostid: UG_HWKEY_ID=13625 License path: 28000@server1 FLEXnet Licensing error: -9,333 In addition, the debug log ugslicensing.log file will contain errors like the following: DENIED: “gateway” fred@barney (INVALID error code (-9999,333) DENIED: “gateway” fred@barney (Invalid host. (-9,333) In these cases, check the following: Make sure the Hardware Key is plugged in securely. Make sure that the license file (e.g. ugs4.lic) has the same number in the UG_HWKEY_ID field that is printed on the Hardware Key itself. Check the status of the Sentinel driver: For a Parallel Port hardware key, make sure that the “Sentinel” Windows device driver appears in Device Manager and is in its Started state Control Panel System Hardware Device Manager View Show Hidden Devices Non-plug and Play Drivers Sentinel (double-click) For a USB hardware key, make sure that Device Manager shows an entry for Rainbow USB SuperPro key. Control Panel System Hardware Device Manager Universal Serial Bus Controllers Rainbow USB SuperPro If the Sentinel driver is missing, manually install it; the Sentinel driver installation file can be found on the license server in the following (default) installation path: C:\Program Files\UGS\UGSLicensing\Hardware_Key\sentinelsystemdriver.msi
